    You fool, you have not ascended in your hobby yet. The true best gear is the gear you end up using and it is never the most expensive gear you have or could have

      The true best gear is the gear you end up using

      I dabble in photography as a hobby. One of the sayings is, “the best camera is the one you have with you”. The “best” cameras and lenses tend to be big and heavy, but are often overkill. There’s a certain amount of prestige attached to this gear, IMO you’re better off with compromise gear that’s smaller/lighter - especially for frequent casual use. You’ll take it out with you more.
